Corsair Hydro X Series iCUE RGB Custom Cooling Kit

Seit Längerem habe ich die Corsair Hydro X Series iCUE XH305i RGB Pro in Schwarz in Arbeit und kann Euch heute endlich den ersten Teil des lange erwarteten Reviews präsentieren. Der zweite Teil wird dann sich dann um einen kompletten Build mit allen Komponenten aus diesem Custom-Loop-Kit drehen. Apropos drehen: Dann gibt es neben dem Workvlog natürlich auch noch das übliche Video zum Text. Ein wenig Bewegung kann ja nie schaden. Doch zurück zu heute und hier, denn ich habe mir das Kit sehr gründlich angeschaut.

I’ve had the Corsair Hydro X Series iCUE XH305i RGB Pro in black in the works for a while now, and today I can finally present you with the first part of the long-awaited review. The second part will then be about a complete build with all components from this custom loop kit. Speaking of shooting: Then, of course, there is the usual video to go with the text, in addition to the workvlog. A little exercise never hurts. But back to today and here, because I took a very thorough look at the kit.

The Hydro XH303i PRO kit has an absurdly long name even by CORSAIR's standards, but the takeaway here is this kit has been updated more so than the XH305i PRO did. Not only did we see the new CPU block here, but the fans were updated from the more airflow-optimized SP120 RGB to the more impressively balanced SP120 RGB Elite fans. The coolant across both kits was also updated to CORSAIR 's new XL8 line, with a liter of clear coolant coming in that is plenty enough for any standard loop you can build with the components provided here. It's my first time taking a look at one of CORSAIR's kits, and this being a 9-page article also shows why I rarely cover kits and prefer to have standalone product reviews instead. Regardless, I was quite curious about some of the Hydro X line products not covered here to date, including the tubing, the fittings, and also the bending kit itself.
